Semper Fi, Neil
From the Vietnam Veterans of Bravo Battery 1st Bn 12th Marines 1965-1969
To all Marines. Especially Bravo Bty. 1st Bn. 12th Marines. What an honor it is to Neil, to see so many caring fellow Marines. The services in Lubbock were on a beautiful sunny morning. The Marine honor guard put an extra lump in my throat. Not only for Neil but to see such a wonderful representation of young Marines. My children and I thank each one of you for your thoughts and prayers. As hard as it is I know he is not hurting and on those streets of gold. The flowers were very much appreciated and very lovely. We appreciate your caring. God bless you all.
